When we research we are looking for information.

We are looking for information so that we have all the facts.

These facts can help us when answering a question.

These facts can help us when making a decision.

These facts can help us when doing a school project!!

Sometimes we research for fun!

Sometimes we research because it is important to do.

We might be researching information to help us with our school project.

It is VERY important for researchers to be principled.

Here are three important things that a principled researcher does:

2. A principled researcher always writes down the information in their own words.

3. A principled researcher always uses reliable sources of information.
